We’re just 8 days from the kick off of DC Comics‘ The New 52 with Justice League #1, and fans all over the DCU are buzzing with excitement. If you’re anything like me you’ve been obsessing over what we will find next Wednesday in the debut collaboration between Geoff Johns and Jim Lee. Well, if you’re not opposed to a little spoiler action, we’ve learned who the JLA will face off against in their debut issue of the relaunch!

From DCU’s The Source:

On Friday, writer Geoff Johns and artist Jim Lee appeared together on Sirius XM’s “Geek Time” to discuss the launch of DC Comics-The New 52 and their first ever collaboration — JUSTICE LEAGUE. During the interview, they revealed the identity of the series’ first villain. What threat is so big that it brings together the team for the first time? If you don’t want to know who it is just yet, then whatever you do, don’t click after the jump (major spoiler alert!).

In the first story arc of JUSTICE LEAGUE, the villain needs no introduction: Darkseid.

Justice League #1 hits stores on August 31st.
